Donald J. Trump Jr. is an innovator and leader in today’s young business world. As an Executive Vice President at The Trump Organization, Donald Jr. works to expand the company’s real estate, retail, commercial, hotel and golf interests. His extensive real estate development experience, rigorous education and inherent business sense add a level of detail and depth to the management of all current and future Trump projects.

In addition to new project acquisitions, Donald Jr. actively oversees The Trump Organization’s extensive property portfolio. He is involved in all aspects of the company’s development, from deal evaluation, analysis and pre-development planning to construction, branding, marketing, operations, sales and leasing.

Upon joining the Trump Organization in 2001, Donald Jr. initially worked at Trump Place, the historic West Side Yards redevelopment in New York City, one of the most ambitious and successful large scale development projects in Manhattan. The project spanned several blocks, featured 17 buildings, and created a new community. From there he went on to lead the development of Trump Park Avenue, a conversion of the landmark Hotel Delmonico to an ultra-luxury residential condominium on Park Avenue at East 59th Street, which has been a tremendous success.

In 2003, Donald Jr. began overseeing the construction, financing and development of Trump International Hotel & Tower, Chicago, a 2.6 million square-foot property along the Chicago River, one of the tallest completed residential buildings in the world. The 92-story building includes 486 residential condominium units, 339 hotel condominium units, and four levels of retail space. Located on the site of the former Chicago Sun-Times, Trump International Hotel & Tower, Chicago has the best location in Chicago, and has been named the “#1 Hottest Hotel in North America” by Condé Nast Traveler and “#1 Hotel in North America & Canada” by Travel + Leisure Magazine.

Donald Jr. was also involved in the development of Trump International Hotel™, Las Vegas, a 64-story hotel condominium tower located on the Las Vegas strip. The development features 1,282 ultra-luxury hotel condominium suites with 50 penthouse suites, including expansive three-bedroom suites, as well as DJT, an acclaimed five-star restaurant, and a full service spa.

In March 2006, Donald J. Trump announced plans to design and build a massive golf development on 1,400 acres of sand dunes on the northeast coast of Scotland. After many controversial years of planning, hearings and a public inquiry, a spectacular links course among the Great Dunes of Scotland was finally completed. On July 10, 2012, Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, opened to rave reviews. Designed by world renowned golf course architect Martin Hawtree, the dramatic landscape and panoramic views have golfers and press worldwide calling it one of the greatest links courses ever built. It is already a must play destination for international golfers and would be a prime location for a major championship.

Most recently, Donald Jr. spearheaded efforts to further expand the Trump brand globally with the introduction of four magnificent properties, Trump Towers Pune, Trump Tower Mumbai, Trump Tower Kolkata and Trump Towers Delhi NCR, setting new standards of design and luxury living in India. Additionally, Donald Jr. played a key role in the development of Trump International Hotel and Tower, Vancouver, a world-class luxury hotel and residential property in downtown Vancouver.

Donald Jr. received his Bachelor’s degree in Finance and Real Estate from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania. When he is not working, Donald Jr. enjoys being an avid outdoorsman as well as a devoted father to his five

"Everyone has a book in them and that, in most cases, is where it should stay." - Christopher Hitchens

That pretty much sums it up, though I do believe that in order to write a book, one must first demonstrate that one is capable of reading a book.

I LookedInside™ and found some interesting facts, for example that Don Jr has butchered hundreds of chickens and speaks fluent Czech. But the passage which startled me most was near the beginning of chapter 3, where he explains how the "Democrat Party" (I dunno, that's what he calls it) was built on a foundation of "Jim-Crow style racism, support of the KKK and slavery, and stark opposition to Abraham Lincoln."

Attention all white supremacists: don't conclude from the above that you should really vote for the Dems. I know it sounds that way, but he's very tricky. You gotta learn to read between the lines.

The irony of the title is that Jr. was triggered into writing this lol. Wah. Liberals are so weak and say mean things about me and dad and we can't take insults for **** cuz we have skin so thin we might very well have no skin at all. Therefore, I'm going to write a super hypocritical book that is basically a load of BS in academia terms but whatever, the sheep who like my dad will spend their hard-earned money on it. Money for me is good. Gotta make lemonade outta lemons.

Also, the left thrives on hate? yet, this book mocks/demonizes political correctness which is literally just being polite and considerate to others. Yeah. There are people that take it too far. But that isn't the general concept of political correctness' fault. To hate on political correctness in general is like saying... oi. I just really want to be a bigot and say mean things and be rude and that should totally be socially acceptable (newsflash: rude is rude and ain't nothing gonna change that).

not to mention hatemongering and fearmongering is the lifesblood of the right. especially in regards to the author's daddy dearest. Trump Sr. is a walking human rights violation in himself.

This book is such a joke that it is, indeed, kinda amusing after the initial reaction of "are you sh***ing me? is this real?"

For the record... No. it's not real. it's some person's fantasy. Sorry not sorry.

It’s funny to see reviews by people who are so blinded by hatred they can’t even read a book. My guess is most of these people don’t even know how to read!

Anyway, this book is full of heart, truth and humor. Don is a great writer, articulate and speaks the truth so many liberal idiots are unwilling to face. Just this year alone I’ve read over 550 books and this one is up there with my favorites. It’s a hard pill for liberals to swallow, but their hatred and stupid policies such as support of illegal immigrants, stifling free speech and beating up conservatives does NOT help their cause and millions of people like me who are sick of their nonsense is why Donald trump is and will stay our president.

Don is a successful man in his own right and knows the value of hard work, which is the opposite of any couch potato leaving negative reviews without even reading a book. Get something else to do and spew your hatred somewhere else! This is a website for people who actually READ BOOKS! Take your social justice nonsense somewhere else and I’ll ignore you there too!

Great book Don. I loved it. And I admire the grace and love your family have and will continue to have when faced with the lunacy of the left. Truly an inspiration.

Pretty good, would definitely recommend it. Clearly shows how much the American left has become heavily radicalized, Intolerant, hateful, out of touch with reality and America itself. The Democrats are not those who were during the era of JFK.

Read a copy sent to the office for a preview. It was also sent as a joke. The Trump boys are known to share a brain cell between them, with their sister only slightly less thick. This really is a pathetic attempt at projection, written in 5th grade prose.

I don't think many that has left a review on this book/CD has either listened to it or read it. It seems to me that most are just biting their own tails in a hope to push down the readership of this book. In truth, it is well done and gives absolute truth in how the industry works - media, etc., that is. How do I know? I work on the inside of it all. Say as you will, but those that type just for trolling purposes, are obviously simply, as it is said, Triggered. :-)

I was unfortunate enough to get an advanced copy but can save you the pain, this is just one big book of projection and the author is horrible. I recommend getting the fire to 451 degrees Fahrenheit for this one to visit

It centers on the "triggered" aspect and are they. Purely true in every observation.

But that is about 1/2 of the book. In example and in eye witness. Both. The other 1/2 is a life tale autobiography of his years growing up, especially concerning the frequent and long lasting overriding masses of hours with his grandparents and parents. Those were excellent- 5 star. I loved especially hearing about his and siblings travel and summer weeks with the Czech grandparents. He does the Grandfather tales especially well.

And then there is the other side. Just as intriguing. Especially with his paternal Grandfather who didn't believe in retirement. But the most unknown to me were the years after Wharton and the journey he made going against his father's wishes, and then coming back to building again. And the alcohol factors too.

The photos are all 5 star and top of the line quality materials- plus they cover all the decades. Also many of them with his 5 kids, their Mom and also now with Kimberly and best friends like Tom Hicks, Charlie etc.

The chapters at the end upon Democratic Party field for the 2020 presidential race are priceless. 5 star

He covers other subjects in other chapters re the title and what social media has obscured and at the same time promotes. All clearly observable for anyone who uses it, IMHO. Especially the double standard on what is considered "hate" speech. And how the varying platforms pick, censor, chose. Or suppositions concerning what would happen if Obama had been treated in like manner as has his father. Strongly abhorred in policies by many, Obama was not. Nor was it allowed. By the same entities and individuals who operate the opposite presently.

I can’t wait to read this non-fiction book, authored by the emotionally abused son of a malignant narcissist. However, here’s a few things I’d rather do first:
1- Get my undercarriage waxed by a female, East German wrestler.
2- Binge watch every season of The Cosby Show.
3- Complete ten hours of physical and psychological torture at the McKamey Mansion
4- Befriend Harvey Weinstein. However, if he asks to be friends with benefits, I would read the book.

Tit-bits 1886

"It is a wise father that knows his own child."
The Merchant of Venice A2 S2

Smackwater Jack


- Bungalow Bill - The Beatles



Donald Trump Jr writes that -- when he saw rows of graves at Arlington Cemetery -- he thought of...himself, and the business deals he had sacrificed. "About all the sacrifices we’d have to make to help my father succeed."


“At least he’s reading something.”

- Pre-sales for Trump Jr.s ”book” skyrocketed to the top of the NYTimes Best Seller List when a top oligarch & owner of Russian Copper, Niko Deripaskov, close friend & confidant to Putin, purchased 70,000 copies.

Political Science/Current Events are not books I read often. This is written in a conversational style. It reiterates the nastiness that has sadly become part of our daily lives. There is no civil debate anymore. No talk of real issues. There is some information on Don Jrs childhood and experiences as a young adult, but the book is mainly about his experience jumping into the political arena campaigning during the Presidential election and the aftermath.

Personally, my expectations of this book are extremely low. I hold no hope that Trump Jr. will be civil towards his political rivals and am fully prepared to read a book that is completely un-proofread and filled with absolute gibberish. The biggest shock, though, is the implication that this man knows how to read in the first place- because honestly, he probably doesn't need to do that much in his job since it's mostly based on charisma and nepotism- and that he has never read a book on political philosophy or mob psychology. There is no doubt in my mind that in his process of "writing" this book, (which, let's be honest, he probably got someone smarter to write so that it wasn't just 3,000 single syllable words in an incomprehensible order) he never bothered to look up the definition of hypocrisy, that being, "The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense." If he had ever considered looking in a dictionary at least ONCE in his whole life he would have known that the inflammatory title of this 15-18 dollar piece of kindling fully demonstrates the hypocrisy of the right by specifically choosing to say "the left thrives on hate" and "triggered", which implies that the left's emotional outcry in the face of the right's unrelenting attack on human decency isn't valid, the solution being that they shut up instead. By suggesting that the left shut up about the problems the right has created, Trump. Jr is doing the same thing the left has been accused of doing. This destroys the moral high ground he tried so desperately to cultivate, and opens it up to rebuttal. This review isn't just a prediction of the reprehensible moral (or lack thereof) stench this book entails, but a suggestion as well. If you want to create a book pitting two already quarreling factions against each other, make it so that the title doesn't defeat your argument before I open the book. I'm sure there is a perfectly unprovocative way to title this overly-expensive piece of garbage, because the only reason the left, the right, and I are here battling in the reviews is because the title tells you the contents of the book (and it's ideological fallacies), and invites you to respond. He might as well have named his book "En-Garde, Allez", because it obviously desires the reviewer to get in position and start fighting instantly. Actively reading this book is sure to be a few dozen punches in the nose and a suplex, and online responses will range from roundhouse kicks to cheers in the stands. Of all the things America's political climate needed, this bar brawl of a book is certainly the most ill-advised. And finally, I would like to give out a bit of advice to the two absolutely brainless parties that will be duking it out until next November. (as of November 5, 2019)
To the liberals: don't waste your breath debating the likes of Trump or his supporters if they can't start the race without tripping on their shoelaces.
To the conservatives? Find a better golden cow. This one's spray tan is coming off.

Not a book so much as angry ranting from a boy who didn't get his way. Author comes of as petulant and ignorant while pandering to an audience of hardcore neocons. Save your brain cells and don't buy this book.

Literally the worst thing I have ever read. He compares dead war veterans to the struggles of his dad’s presidency. Extremely insulting. I read the whole thing with an objective view but it’s just white privileged male crying about how hard life is and their struggles. Princess Diana - someone who actually saw real struggle is rolling in her grave.

How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us - every day the red fog comes over my eyes as I fuel my passionate hatred of the Right by praying for the introduction to America of a non-regressive system of taxation and a universal single payer health care system free at the point of provision.
